The Michelin Anakee III is a dual-sport adventure tire engineered for riders who demand confident performance across a wide range of terrain. Designed as a 90/10 on-/off-road tire, the Anakee III is purpose-built for big dual-sport and adventure touring motorcycles, delivering the on-pavement precision and handling these bikes require — while remaining capable on gravel roads, dirt tracks, and light off-road surfaces.
Building on the success of the Anakee 2, Michelin redesigned the compound, casing, and tread architecture of the Anakee III to deliver measurable improvements in mileage, wet-weather grip, and rider feedback. The result is one of the most well-rounded adventure motorcycle tires available, trusted by riders across a wide variety of conditions and climates worldwide.
Key Features:
- Advanced Silica Tread Compound: Michelin's silica-enhanced rubber formula delivers an improved balance of grip and durability, maintaining consistent wet and dry traction throughout the full life of the tire — not just when new
- Variable Groove Ratio Tread Pattern: A unique tread architecture uses varied angles, shapes, and positions of tread cuts to resist irregular wear, efficiently evacuate water, shed mud and loose gravel, and preserve lateral grip as the tire wears
- Transverse Water Evacuation Grooves: Channels water away from the contact patch quickly and effectively for dependable wet-weather traction and reduced hydroplaning risk
- Beveled Lateral Grooves: Help clear mud and loose gravel during light off-road use, maintaining grip and confidence when the pavement ends
- High-Rigidity Casing: A stiff casing profile inspired by Michelin's sport touring radial lineup delivers precise handling, enhanced maneuverability, and stable load-bearing performance whether riding solo or two-up with full adventure luggage
- Indented Tread Grooves: Engineered to sustain consistent lateral grip even as tread depth diminishes over miles of use
- Extended Tread Life: The improved silica compound delivers significantly more mileage than the previous Anakee 2 generation, reducing replacement frequency without compromising grip or handling
- Tubeless and Tube-Type Compatible: Available in configurations supporting both tubeless and tube-type fitments across a broad range of wheel sizes to suit popular dual-sport and adventure touring platforms
- Radial and Bias-Ply Construction: Offered in both radial and bias-ply builds to match the technical requirements of a wide variety of front and rear wheel applications
